Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a way to make heme iron that is not derived from porcine blood. This heme iron has various advantages over regular nonheme iron and solves issues with existing heme iron made from porcine blood. It can be used to produce halal iron supplements. Additionally, the heme iron is made using a biological process, meaning it can be produced under mild conditions.

Problems solved by technology

Heme iron thus prepared has many problems that are not present in nonheme iron, such as the risk of infection by animal-derived infection sources, livestock growth hormone contamination, and residual antibiotics.
Moreover, the preparation of heme iron as described above involves the production of heme iron from blood obtained from the slaughter of animals such as pigs, which is forbidden by Islam, and thus the heme iron above prepared does not conform to halal regulations, undesirably obstructing the use thereof as an iron supplement by Muslims.

on of Heme Iron Production Strain

[0028]With reference to the heme biosynthesis pathway in microorganisms in the present invention, a heme iron production strain was prepared through several trial-and-error steps. The heme iron production strain thus prepared was Escherichia coli DH5α pLEX_HMD, which is DH5α-based Escherichia coli transformed with a plasmid designed for heme biosynthesis, particularly a plasmid containing a self-expression promoter PL, an ALA synthase gene (HemA), a NADP-dependent malic enzyme gene (MaeB), and a dicarboxylic acid transport protein gene (DctA), and the strain thus prepared was deposited at the Korean Collection for Type Cultures in the Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology on Dec. 21, 2016 (Accession number: KCTC 13173BP).

[0029]Based on the comparing results of the heme iron production capability thereof with strains prepared using MG1655, Top10, BL21, and Rosetta gami, the production strain Escherichia coli DH5α pLEX_HMD exhibited ...

ion of Heme Iron Production Conditions

[0032]Using the production strain Escherichia coli DH5α pLEX_HMD prepared in Example 1, optimization of the production process, including optimization of the medium composition, etc., was performed. FIG. 1 illustrates the results of optimization of the culture temperature as one of conditions for optimizing the production process. The production conditions of heme iron finally established through several processes for obtaining optimal production conditions are summarized below.

ion of Heme Iron Purification Conditions

[0033]In the present Example, a heme iron purification process was developed, and specific conditions thereof were optimized. The finally established purification conditions of heme iron are as follows.

[0034]The culture broth of the heme iron production strain Escherichia coli DH5α pLEX_HMD was centrifuged at 3,000 g at 4° C. for 15 min, thus recovering cells thereof. The cells thus recovered were washed two times by suspending the same in PBS (Phosphate Buffered Saline) and then performing centrifugation. The finally recovered cells were naturally dried for about 30 min and then weighed. Typically, it was possible to recover 40 to 50 g of cells from 5 L of a culture broth. The recovered cells were added with cold acid-acetone and thus heme iron was extracted. Here, the cold acid-acetone that was used was prepared by mixing 998 ml of acetone at −20° C. with 2 ml of hydrochloric acid. The addition of the cold acid-acetone was conducted by a man...

Abstract

The present invention relates to heme iron not derived from porcine blood and a method of preparing the same, and more particularly to a method of biologically preparing heme iron not derived from porcine blood, a method of preparing a salt thereof, and an iron supplement containing the salt thus prepared as an active ingredient.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to heme iron containing no animal-derived component and a method of preparing the same, and more particularly to a method of biologically preparing heme iron not derived from porcine blood, which is characterized in containing no animal-derived component, a method of preparing a salt thereof, and an iron supplement containing the salt thus prepared as an active ingredient.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Iron (Fe) is a trace element that plays an essential role for oxygen transport in the body, and is an important constituent of hemoglobin, myoglobin, cytochrome, iron / sulfur protein and biomolecular structures. The total amount of iron in the body is about 3 to 4 g, 60 to 65% of which is bound to hemoglobin in circulating erythrocytes, and the remaining 30 to 35% is present as storage iron (ferritin). Iron is also present in the form of tissue iron and serum iron (transferrin), and furthermore, there is a small amount of iron in myoglobin of the...
